Transform Your Hospital Supply Chain With VIE Healthcare Consulting

In my previous article, I explored how US hospitals could save around $11 million every year if they invested in their supply chain. Here, I highlight three specific ways VIE Healthcare Consulting can transform your hospital supply chain.

Your supply chain accounts for up to 45% of your hospital costs but supply chain management is becoming increasingly more complex. We know from the work we do with our customers that implementing the right supply chain strategy can:

• Deliver dramatic margin improvement.

• Improve operational efficiency.

• Enhance your patient care.

Supply chain management is crucial to the successful operation and profitability of your hospital. But with so many moving parts, most hospitals struggle to manage their supply chain successfully.

Our supply chain leaders don’t just take the reins of your supply chain.

Our goal is to train and empower your staff to ensure they are fully equipped to independently transform the leadership of your supply chain.

Hospital Supply Chain Optimization

The pursuit of value-based healthcare is one of the key trends affecting the supply chain in 2019. Value-based payment models require a whole new way of delivering care and providing services. Providing price transparency is central to this but it is no small task for the majority of healthcare systems.

In order for your hospital to thrive, you must have a full understanding of your costs with supply chain optimization. We achieve this for our clients by delivering the following strategies:

• Our method of supply chain optimization can also connect true costs to outcomes, which is persuasive when negotiating physician preference items and measuring efficiency.

• Our supply chain mapping creates price transparency and understanding. Costs can be closely tied to services and outcomes, providing clarity. The accuracy of charges and payments is also assured as expenses are carefully compared to reimbursements.
